Hey, I’m Nena!

I’m a just dog-loving, beer-chugging girl from southern California. When I’m not taking portraits of amazing, beautiful, unique people like yourself, I’m usually traveling, writing, or enjoying a good book… or, more likely, a good Netflix show.

Quick Facts About Me

• I’ve been a photographer since 2013.

• My pronouns are she/her

• I love personality tests. For those of you who know what these things mean, I’m an INFP, a 4w5, and a Ravenclaw.

• I am, unashamedly, a total history nerd. I can tell you anything you want to know about the Titanic, the early days of photography, or the 1920s. If you want to be in the know, ask me what REALLY happened to Amelia Earhart. 

• Did I mention that I love beer? Tea too. Get you a girl who can do both 🍺☕️

• I’ve been to 10 countries, and my favorite place that I’ve visited so far is Iceland. If anyone’s thinking about doing an Iceland elopement, TAKE ME WITH YOU! Seriously. Always down to go back.

• I am an advocate for mental health! Nothing is more important than looking out for your mental and emotional health, because those things influence every aspect of your life! #endTheStigma

• I’m a big fan of bulleted lists.
